It's interesting until you run up against speed limitations both left and right. I still use it for some work and enjoy it, but it is by far the slowest technology I've used.

Believe it or not you have to disable the progress bar to speed some things up. Downloads alone are at least 10x faster if you disable progress bar.

File read and writes are also glacially slow by all the common cmdlets. Even if you use .NET in your code and make it far more verbose it CRAWLS.
Someone on here previously showed a trick to get some speedups, but it is still slow.
